David The cassette recorder was not plugged into a port. It just had its power lead. The label printer is plugged into a USB port on the back of my PC.

What sort of ports were the two devices plugged into?

Then I plugged in my new Brother label printer. I have spent quite a while round the back trying to sort out wires, but no luck so far. I even swapped some plugs over. I have everything on a workstation, and the plugs are all in one of those surge protected socket sets. I can't move the speakers away from the monitor, as they all stand on the top narrow shelf of the workstation, and wouldn't go easily anywhere else. The thing is that when I first got the speakers they hummed a bit, but for a long while now they haven't hummed at all so I am a bit disappointed that they are doing so now.

Have the other suggestions worked? If not let us know what peripherals you have plugged into your machine, in particular the one which was plugged in and seemingly caused the hum. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Wendy Sharpe Sent: 27 September 2007 11:20 To: 'UK access' Subject: [access-uk] SPEAKERS HUMMING Friends I have just moved my PC workstation to plug something in at the back, and when I next turned it on my speakers were humming. I have tried jiggling things around again, but still humming. Anyone any ideas why this happens? I'm sure it must be something to do with all those wires.
